Resemblance Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain and Gucci PH?

I've just received a sample of L'Air du Desert Marocain, and upon application I was greeted with a very similar scent to Gucci pour Homme. Very, very pronounced cedar, with amber and vetiver somewhere in the background.

I checked the reviews of L'Air du Desert Marocain, but didn't find anyone making the connection to Gucci PH. Is it just me, or is there anyone who can smell this as well?

That's funny you should say that. I was *looking* at my bottle of Terre d'Hermès when applying LADM for the first time, and at first I *thought* it was going to go that direction, but no, LADM is much too cedary for that.

They are at most very very distant relatives, but don't get confused by their names, as that can also lead to unwanted cognitive dissonance.

I don't get the similarity at all.. nor with TdH. I find them all pretty distinct for me. However, the Tauer (obviously) shares a lot of similarities with Incense Rosé. I love L'Air and it's magnificent on my girlfriend... definitely none of the cedar-y shavings in GpH (which I love, mind you )
